THE PARTY GUHLLOTINE.

During tho past ten days the Re-
publican party Of Nevada has been
engaged In the excellent work of
executing its traitors. Day by day
was heard the swish of the aveng-
ing guillotine mingled with the gen
tie patter of Mugwump blood
The insulting manner in which
certain men have Haunted their trea-
son in the face Of decent Republi-
cans has rendered these measures
necessity which admitted of no de-
lay. The very existence of the
party depended upon the thorough
ness of this work However disa-
greeable this might have been con-
sidered by some, when the time ar
rived there was no lack of willing
hands for the work. The actual
workers In the ranks were getting
weary of seeing incapacity and
lukewarmness patted on the back,
Decentralization conciliated and
treason rewarded. The straightest
party men were doing all the hard
fighting and the sneaklug camp fol-
lowers claiming all the glory and
getting all the spoils.
The traitors in the camp who
conspireL with the enemy last Fall
to deliver the party bodily to the
Democracy have been hunted down.

behind him stalks the headsmen.

NEyADA'S REPR Il - Il n II A
TzVE5.

We doubt if any State in the
Union has a stronger team of Sen
aters at Washington than Nevada.
They are men who, by reason of a
long residence in Nevada know the
wants of the people; men sound on
the leading questions, and able at
all times to cope with opposition.
The Salt Lake Tribune says:
There is not State that has two
men so well equipped as Senator'S
as Stewart and Jones. Vermont
has one great Senator; SO has Ohio;
SO has Massachusetts,; SO has Con-
necticut, and so have several other
States, but there is not one State
that has such strength in the ma
terial which they send to the Sen
ate as Nevada will have in the next
Congress-. Let the men who scott
at ''the Rotten Borough take the
fact home to them fer reflection.
Aside from usual accomplishments,
there is not an Eastern Senator who
knows even the alphabet of the
silver question In comparison with
either John p. Jones or VIM. Nj
Stewart. On the tariff question
there is not among all the States
men and scholars of the East a
man who can handle the tariff
question with the incisive direct
ness that j. p. jones can. On ey-
cry public question the two men
are thoroughly posted in a bread
way. What we mean by that is,
they know the bearings of the ques-
ton; not in New England; not in
the Middle or Southern States or in
the Mississippi Valley, but every
where throughout the Union, Their
lives have been passed In way
that has broadensd their visions
until, whether measure. is to be
OF exclusive or particular benefit to
the section which they hail from
is not a matter which they care to
consider, That is, of course,
measure which effects the whole
country. So they will be found adj
vocating a fair protective tariff,
though it benefits their State less
than any other. So they will be
found advocating the building of
navy and the establishing of steam
lines to foreign ports, though their
home is on desert mountain, six
thousand feet above the sea. A

MUGwUMP PAPERS.

Now that both Democrats aud
Republicans have turned the cold
shoulder to Mugwumpism it is also
a good year to wipe out these use
less hybrid sheets which start up
here and there to feebly advocate
the cause of the Mugwumps. One
has just started In Hawthorne call
ed the News. There is good Re
publican paper there already and
the town can 40 n ore support tive
papers than it could support two
theaters. The entire State ought
not support a newspaper of this
kind. The News comes to US by
mail and we have requested the
postmater to notify the proprietors
that we do not exchange with news
papers of that political stripe. No
paper in the State, Democratic or
Republican, ought to exchange
with Mugwump newspapers. Any
county that will support such q
newspaper for year ought to be
set down as a Mugwamp county
and treated accordingly.

The Little Children That are
Gone.
From the Chicago Advance.

From the Chicago Advance.
Why do they come, these little ones
that enter our homes by the gateway
OF suffering, and that linger with us
few months uttering no word, smiling
in a mysterious silence, yet speaking
eloquently all the time OF the purity
and sweetness of heaven? Why must
they open the tenderest fountains oil
our nature only to leave them so soon
choked with the bitter tears OF loss?
1t is impossible wholly to answer such
questions OF the tortured heart, but
one can say, in general, that these lit
tie temporary wanderers from a
celestial home come and go because OF
the great love OF God. 1t is an inesti-
mable blessing to have been the parent
of a child that has the stamp OF heav-
en- upon its brow, to hold it in ones
arms, to minister to it, to gaze fondly
down INTO the little upturned face and
to reioicein the unsullied beauty OF its
smiles, and then-to give it back to
God at his call, with the thought that
in heaven. as upon earth, it is still
our own child, member OF the house
hold still, to be counted always as
one OF the children whom God hath
given us. Such a love chastens and
sanctifies the hearts OF the father and
mother, carries them out beyond time
and sense, and gives them hold upon
the unseen. As things OF great value
always cost. it is worth all the sorrow
to have known this holy affection and
to have this treasure in heaven.

Cannibalism In Hayti.
st. Louis Globe. Democrat.

St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.
U. b. Pewter resident OF Kingston
on the island OF Jamaica, is at the
Laclede Hotel. He IS the manager Of
a company which is engaged in min
ing phosphate on the Grand Cayman's
Island, near Jamaica. Upon the pres.
ent commercial and social condition
OF Jamaica and the whole group Of
the West Indian Islands Mr.. Pewter
talks discouragngly.
1.-THE islands and their inhabitants
are retrograding rapidly" said he
recently. "They are exporting less
and less every year and the
natives are departing more and
more from civilization. The reason
believe to be the abolition OF slavery
in / 1874. The effects OF that step were
not Ielt by the white planters until
the old slaves began to die, and the
new generation had to be depended
upon for labor. They would not work
not having been bred to industrious
habits, and each old slave that died
was so much loss to the quantity 81
labor to be obtained. Some OF the
planters resorted to the expedient Of
importing coolie labor and did very
well, but large number ofowners did
not do this, and estates on the island
went to ruin fast. AS time passed on
it became more and more difficult to
obtain laborers, and the evil effects oil
this unusual idleness was seen in yearly
increasing imports. The negroes need
not work to get food and a house--these
can be had for nothing-and the only
reason why they work at all is that
they may earn enough money to dress
in expensive and gaudily colored
clothes. That is the only use they
have for money. If slavery had not
been abolished, or il it could be re 'es
tablished, the island would flourish.
"What OF the reports that the prac-
tice of cannibalism has been revived
in HaytiY"
"In the main they are true. Hayti
OF all the West Indies, is the most
marked example of the decay OF the
islands. When the French left it in
1872 they left a specifically, at least,
TellblOuS people, VIII ChhlShcS, ioSIO
ries, and roads. Now thee is not
a church or factory on the island
and but one road, while the Catholic
religion has been abandoned for
the OBJ or fetish worship, and
cannibalism has again sprung up
The island is a black republic, and no
whites are allowed to own property.
In fact, the only whites on the island
are few European traders, who con-
duct the financial affairs OF the govern.
ment and lend it money. The island
is not communicated with by the peo-
pie of the other islands, and the ne
groes are left to devour one another
as fast as they please. Their human
hesh.eating is not that OF the past
century. They do not eat the flesh
of the persons who have died, and
having nobody to war with they can
take no prisoners to cook and eat.
They eat the flesh OF children, taken
when young, penned, and fattened for
the feast. Sometimes they steal chill.
dren from the neighboring islands and
fatten them for their tables. They
are drifting back into complete barba'
rism, and there is no inclination on
the part OF the other islanders to in
terfere with their gradual extinction.

The Toronto Globe" Says Joseph Must Go-H,

Troubls-Athtnds Of the United Stats
Will There be a War?

TORONTO, November 2--The Globe again
refers to Mr.. Cbamberlain's appointment
this morning, and in a strongly worded
editorial article says: "Let British Jour-
pals rub their eyes again and wake up TO
the necessities Of the situation. Mr..
Chamberlain must be recalled. There is no
ought or should in the case The impera-
tive is required and Canadians are enti-
tied to employ it. He must be recalled.
Let the British understand that their own
interests are largely staked on the result
of the impending negotiations.
SHOULD the commissioners fail to reach
settlement or should the Senate reject the
agreement, nothing can be more certain
that war between Great Britain and the
United States can be averted only hy
Great Britain abandoning Canada in way
that will forever disgrace the British
name. Do Britons know that the United
States Congress has already passed an act
to cut off every sort OF commercial eX.
change with Canada? DO they know that
Congress has urged the administration to
enforce that act? Are they aware that a
very large proportion of the American
journals ceaselessly vituperate the Presi,
dent, because he has not resorted to retail.
iations? DO they comprehend that he
can have no options, but
TO EMPLOY THE ACT
if the negotiations fail, or if the agreement
is disalowed in the Senate? II he does
employ it, what then?
I'VE do not act rs alarmists in declaring
that war which Great Britain has long
feared more than any other possible war,
will probably occur. To avoid the dangers
and disgrace that threaten there is but one
way. Mr.. Chamberlain is the sole cause
that the outlook is dark. Before his ap.
pOintment it was bright enough. 1t was
bright until he wantonly embarrassed the
situation. 1t is gloomy because he has
rendered the best method of settlement
difficult to propose or discuss, and because
he has made himself hateful on this con.
tinent.
without distinction of origin Ameri,
cans resent his lnsolent attack upon those
fellow citizens whose loyalty rang true by
the most terrible of tests, when hundreds
of sons of Irish mothers faced death in
battle for the Republic. 1t is useless to
found smooth prophecies upon the hope
that Mr.. Chamherlain's principles can es.
cape the consequences of the hostility that
he has aroused. If they do not recall
him they
TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY
for him. If they do not'recall him it eau
be only because they are full of sympathy
for him. His own insOlence has brought
him into trouble, and he alone should be
the victim. Surely it is better he he made
to undergo his deserts than that the
peace of hundreds of millions of English
speaking people be iCopardZed." "

How the Seven Receive the News-Prepa-

CHICAGO, November 2.-The first news
of the decision Of the Supreme Court, in
the case of the Anarchists was taken to
the county Jail by an Associated Press re-
porter, a few minutes after it had been re-
ceived from Washington. Jailer Folsom
was seated in his Office, tipped back in his
chair and about to light his cigar. When
the reporter told him the news, he delib-
erately struck a match, lit his cigar, and
said: "Well, it is just what we expected. "
There were no visitors at the Jail to-day,
and all the prisoners were in their cells
when the news arrived. A note was sent
up to Spies, telling him that the writ had
been denied, and asking if he had any
statement to make in regard to the mat
ter. Spies was sitting in his cell, busily
engaged with some manuscript. He read
the note, and returned it with short, i
have nothing to say" None of the other
men would say anything either. Every
thin g is perfectly quiet in and around the
jail, and in fact all over the whole city.
